Jenny
Everything felt fuzzy. Heart pounding in her ears, Jenny slowly regained consciousness. She gasped at the stabbing, constricting pain in her chest. Afraid to open her eyes, Jenny fought the panic in her heart and focused on her combat training.
Slow your breathing. Listen. Take account of your body, then your surroundings.
The creaking of bent metal shifting, the tinkling of shattered glass falling onto pavement, the hiss of something leaking from a broken hose somewhere.
She was upsidedown. There was a stunning pain in her head, her side, her left arm. Her legs ached, but she could still feel them. Couldn't move much though.
'Hold still,' she told herself, fighting another wave of dizziness.
Slowly, very slowly, Jenny opened her eyes, blinking until the cloudiness subsided and allowed her to see a little clearer. It was dark. Nighttime. How long had she been here? What had happened?
'I'm in Abbie's truck. Crashed, rolled in the middle of the street. It's definitely totaled,' Jenny pulled her thoughts together, struggling to focus through the disorientation, 'Abbie is so going to kill me.'
'Abbie…Abbie is…with Crane, they went to Purgatory. Are they there now? I had to tell them something. Very important, what was it? It's so tight in here, I have to move. Can't breathe! I have to get out!'
Jenny struggled to move, but couldn't quite reach the seatbelt. It was no good. The blackness started to seep back in to the edges of her vision.
She went still again, fighting to slow her breathing.
Slowly, it all came back to her in sickening flashes; the sign in the backseat of the truck, the saint's name is a sign, who'd have thought Moloch had meant that literally?, she had to tell Abbie and Crane before it was too late…the headless horseman standing in the middle of the road and her only thought had been that Abbie was right, he was a lot more frightening when pointing an M4 at your head, then it had all gone black.
"Hello? Can you hear me? Miss Mills, are you there?" a small, voice called out, "Hello?"
Jenny was extremely confused. It sounded like a woman's voice, but she couldn't tell where it was coming from.
"He…Hello?" Jenny managed, her voice weak, "Hello?" she tried again a little louder.
"Hello, my name is Yolanda and I'm your NorthStar rep. Your vehicle appears to have been in a collision. Do you need assistance?"
'Yes! Thank God! I absolutely need assistance!' Jenny's thoughts raced, 'I need to get out of here and find Abbie!'
"Ye…help…" Why was it so hard to speak?
"Help!" Jenny cried out. It was so dark and she was on a small road in the middle of the woods, alone.
"I've alerted emergency services. They are on their way to your location right now. Are you hurt?"
"Yes," Jenny managed, "I'm stuck. I can't move."
"Don't worry, help is on the way. I will stay on the line until they arrive. Abigail Mills, can you tell me what happened? Is there anyone else with you?"
It was strange to hear this unfamiliar voice, but her words helped Jenny to stay calm.
"Jenny…I'm Jenny. Abbie is my sister," she answered.
"Jenny, are you alone? Is anyone else hurt?" the NorthStar person asked.
"No, I'm alone," she said painfully, "I have to find Abbie…"
"What do you mean? Where is she?"
"Abbie is in danger…I need to tell her…" Jenny trailed off.
"What kind of danger? Is Ichabod with her? Would you like me to call her phone?"
Jenny's eyes fell closed and the voice faded into static for a few minutes. Just a few minutes of rest, that's what she needed. What a strange day it had been. How did the NorthStar person know Crane anyway? It was weird.
"Jenny, stay with me now! Please keep talking!" the voice brought her back again.
"It hurts…" Jenny said quietly. Everything hurt. Her heart ached with fear for her sister, for Crane, for everything.
"Help is on the way, just hold on a little longer. The medevac should be there in…3 minutes."
Jenny turned her head slowly. Sure enough, she could faintly hear the thumping roar of a helicopter. The sound grew louder with each breath. Maybe this wasn't so bad. She'd always wanted to ride in a helicopter.
